Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. The proportion of women in the legislature has never been high. Women's political representation in the country has remained considerably low since time immemorial. Of all the people in the legislative bodies, 5 to 10 per cent are women, and the rest are all men. The reasons are varied, which go from social taboos, unawareness and illiteracy to gender discrimination. In a country like India, where the literacy rate of women stays low at only 65 per cent, women's representation in politics is bound to be lower and minimal.
The correct statement would be The proportion of women in the legislature has never been high.
